startup

I use mysql for fooling around, learning and trying out different packages. Once it's running, I can basically get it to do what I need. It's the startup that has me flummoxed. I usually just start it up and forget it. As I rarely shut-down my iBook, I don't have to do it often and I can't...

I really like using uControl on my iBook for the trackpad scrolling option, but it seems like I have to go into System Prefs and click on the uControl Pref at least once on each startup of my computer in order to get it to work. The load at startup option doesn't seem to be doing anything...

I'm running 7b85 on a 600mhz G3 iMac and am extremely impressed with the startup time. From power on to log-in screen is less than 30 secs, and from password to finder less than 10secs. On a good day Jaguar would take anything up to 3mins in total. The whole OS in general seems much zippier on...

My dual g4 starts up fine - until where there should be a login screen all i get is a blue screen with just my arrow cursor. It seems like there is just no desktop. I've tried a multitude of solutions, but another main problem is I can't start from the CD drive even using the apple hardware...

Hello fellow Macs, So I was just surfing the web and I got the little yellow dialog box saying there's a problem with my HD and to run First Aid. I figure I'll one up it and reboot from the Norton disc. When I do this, it goes through the whole startup, Norton tiled desktop and all, gets to...

Hello all. I am having an especially frustrating time installing OS X, nevermind the fact that I installed a bunch of other stuff at the same time. Doesn't help the elimination process any... Here's my problem. In starting up under OS X, I get the gray start screen with the apple logo, and...

Hey all. On one of our computers at home we have three hard drives. One has OS X and Classic. One has purely OS 9. And one is used for storage only. The problem is, if we start up the box in Classic or pure OS 9, we get the usual startup tone. On the other hand, if we start it up in X, we...

I downloaded the OSX version of DiskWarrior (v3) just in case I ever have any problems in the future. I have installed the program but I'd like to have a boot-able copy on CD in case one day my startup disc won't start. I tried to copy the DiskWarrior Mounted Disc Image to a blank CD but...
